I am visiting Kansai with wife and two teenage kids in Nov'08. Intend to spend 5 nights (probably in Osaka) and cities to visit include Osaka, Kyoto and Nara. I need some advice on a suitable itinerary for family with kids.
1. Any recomended itinerary ? 2. Where is the best logistic to stay to effectively cover Osaka, Kyoto & Nara ? 3. Any recomended day pass to cover the recomended itinerary to save cost ? 4. Recommended budget hotel / Inn ?
Appreciate any advice. Regards

Any recomended itinerary ?I recommend to distribute your days onto the different cities based on your personal interests. The following section introduces all the cities: http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1105.htmlWhere is the best logistic to stay to effectively cover Osaka, Kyoto & Nara ?Osaka, Nara and Kyoto are located in a triangle, all about 30-60 minutes away from each other. Any city will allow you to travel easily to the other two cities. I would make a decision based on which city looks most appealing to you in terms of staying overnight (e.g. dining, night life, if interested). Any recomended day pass to cover the recomended itinerary to save cost ?For transportation between the cities, regular fares are likely to come cheapest. Inside Osaka and Kyoto, you might want to consider day passes. I personally would go for a Surutto Kansai prepaid card.

JR Osaka station area is the most convenient if you dont mind the room rates at all. If you do, choose some hotels and ask. It's a bit hard to take up one area since there is not so big difference as long as you stay in central Osaka.
